A stumpery!!! How insanely cool is that! I have never heard of that but what a unique way to display so many species of plants! WOW! I love learning something new! The gardens are beautiful...I would love to be one of the lucky 15 who get to tend to them!

LOVED! LOVED this post ... your words were brilliantly written and descriptive. How wonderful to have been able to see and experience the loveliness of the gardens!! Thank you for sharing with us .. xo C. (HHL)

It is a great garden - we especially loved the Stumpery. I was with a group of ladies from London, we went the first day it opened in spring and I have never seen so many daffodils! We all commented on the absence of anything "Diana"..... I will not be able to attend the Bloggers Tea but I am looking forward to reading about it on your blog. Cheers!

Hi Laura,Wow, Highgrove looks wonderful.The gardens look amazing, and wouldn't it be great to have a peek around the house too!!Hope you have a lovely week,LizxPs: all signed up for Bloggers tea party-so looking forward to meeting you

Wow, what a wonderful day out! I am amazed that you could get refreshments there too. The Victorian Stumpery looks fabulous. I wish you all the best with your blogger tea, I wish I lived closer. Have a wonderful day, with much love, Linda x

Oh wow, they look just incredible. Although I'm not sure I'd want to go if I couldn't take photos - it really is a deciding factor for me these days and the reason I havemn't visited Eltham Palace yet.

This look gorgeous! What an opportunity. We've had a couple of sites we've happened to find out about before the open day- and it's such an exciting feeling. I do admire Charles' environmental efforts, and although I'm not a gardner I do appreciate a lovely one- so I'll have to keep this one in mind for sometime in the future! Thanks!
